Full size guide →Jeans repair, rather than replacement
Jeans repair answers a situation every denim wearer knows: the cloth gives way at the crotch or the knee, while the rest of the trousers is still perfect. Jeans that give way there often have several years of wear; their cloth has reached the point where it is most comfortable and most beautiful, stiffness gone, patina in place. Replacing them means starting from zero. Repairing them means extending a garment already at its best.
Two levels of work
The price depends on the condition of the jeans: lightly worn, with a localised area to darn, or in poor general condition, with several areas to reinforce.
Dropping off or sending your jeans
The repair is done in our Toulouse workshop. To arrange a drop-off or shipment, write to us. If the jeans are also too long, we can redo their chain-stitch hem.
After the repair
The jeans are worn and washed as before. To space out washes, air them between wears or use our odour spray; the less the cloth goes through the machine, the longer the repair and the patina last.
The Singer 47W70, a darning machine
We work on a Singer 47W70, an old industrial machine specialised in the darning of fabrics. It lets the needle move freely, so the work follows the weave instead of sewing in a straight line. The darn then integrates into the weave instead of sitting on top of it, like a new weft laid in the worn area.
Patina and durability
In three years, your repaired jeans will still be your favourite jeans.
Jeans that give way at the crotch or the knee often have several years of wear: the cloth is at its most beautiful. We darn them on a Singer 47W70, a vintage industrial darning machine: the weakened cloth gets a reinforcement, then the needle follows the weave. Here is how the repair ages with the rest.
-
firm material, solid color, clean finishes.
-
the piece softens where it works the most.
-
wear creases mark themselves and return from one wear to the next.
-
follow the composition instructions; excessive heat and tumble dryers are to be avoided.
-
borders and friction zones soften first.
-
the color shades with use, without aging all at once.
-
the piece is made: supple, familiar, always holding.
-
a seam, a button, a snag is mended in the workshop.
-
nearly three years: a well-kept piece gains in character what it loses in newness.
Replacing patinated jeans means starting from zero and losing years of marks. Repairing them means keeping them. Tone on tone for the invisible, contrast thread for the graphic: your jeans go back out for years.
Reinforce, then darn
The weakened cloth first receives a reinforcement patch, placed under the worn area; the darn comes after, over the top. It is therefore not a simple seam laid over a hole, and the repair lasts. Two looks are possible: a tone-on-tone thread, for a discreet darn, or a contrast thread, which owns the repair and makes it a graphic element. We treat the crotch, the knees, the seat and the pockets.
